Well, unnecessary usage of powers to lag up the place is pretty annoying, regardless of if you are a roleplayer or not. You're not going to need fire auras or stealth mists just to sell some salvage or buy inspirations.

Yet it is just as annoying to the person with the power on, to have to turn on all their toggles every time they start a trial. You also don't need to RP in that zone either. Just because it is not needed is not really a great arguemnt for someone to stop.

Yes it is all "our" game, meaning those that run trials and RPers who don't run trials. I'm not sure if harmony will every be found, but polite mutual tolerance should be exercised at a minimum.

Your standing around at the bar basically typing back and forth to one another while WE are out doing missions and trying to improve our characters. And before the obvious argument gets posted to this thread.. YEAH AND WE PAY OUR MONTHLY FEES TO BE HERE TOO. Last I checked there was no sign on the entrances that said "for RP purposes Only" |
"I have nothing against you BUT YOU'RE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG!!!"
For some people, level doesn't matter. Character development through RP is. 'Improving' a character may mean making them more mechanically efficient, or it may, for others, mean building them, developing them and having others interact with them.
On the flipside, who are You to say thats wrong?
'We pay our fees!' is the same ammount of steaming turd to an arguement as 'I'm an X months veteran who -insert rant here-'. The request was not unreasonable, nor was it rudely put. Coming here and then effectively slamming the person for 'having the gall to ask!' is little short of pathetic.
I hope you don't come to Union, is all I can say to that...

But yeah, a bit of common courtesy, and not telling people they are 'playing the game wrong!' would go a long way.

People need to act like adults about this sort of thing. Everyone who pays a sub is entitled to gather in any zone they wish to play the game. Pocket D is no exception. Either deal with the fact that other people play this game - not always in a way that you care to participate in - or find somewhere else to go and/or something else to do. This applies to RPers and non-RPers alike.
Sorry, but if there's one pet peeve I have it's seeing people take an attitude of 'exclusive' rather than 'inclusive' entitlement. Everyone has the NCSoft-given right to gather in Pocket D. NO player has the right to dictate to any other player what they are 'allowed' to do there.

Fortunately, we don't usually see a lot of that. Normally, when we do, it tends to come from the kind of people who enjoy griefing RPers when we're quietly minding our own business.|

I very rarely set foot in PD these days as most of my characters aren't bar type people. I prefer it out in the world or while running missions. Still, everyone has their own style, all equally valid.

I used to go to GG, I can't bring myself to go back, ever since some one pointed out to me the statue is essentially a memorial. Kinda squicky people having their social evening on a monument devoted to a dead heroine.
Pocket D does serve for a nice location for my more socially inclined characters, though I would love to see a few RP friendly cross faction RP spots added.
Mission roleplay is <3 though!

Ok, I have been a gamer for a LONG time. I started RPing in table top games when I was 9, and I am now 36. I even Boffer LARP and Action Theater LARP, which is are extreme form of RP.
I still can't grasp online RP. Only about 10-20% of what we communicate is eve verbal. That means that while online RPing you are losing about 80% of what you are communicating. W/o tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions I have no clue what someone is really saying.
Sorry, that was off topic.

Part of the problem is Pocket D is usefull for both purposes.
Give the folks that want to run trials an big giant empty room with an insp vendor that can hold a huge number of people that either side can get to with a personal teleporter from anywhere in the game and most of us will leave pocket D alone.
